Dana White uncertain Jon Jones will retire
Though Jon Jones has been hinting at retirement within the lead-up to his bout in opposition to Stipe Miocic, Dana White isn’t so certain. As an alternative, he believes Jones’ aggressive hearth will need him to face Tom Aspinall and silence extra doubters on his approach out.
“Jon Jones is not any dummy,” White stated on the UFC 304 post-fight press convention. “Jon Jones has a really excessive battle IQ. He is aware of what Aspinall’s received and what he’s about. I feel we’re going to should see what occurs on this battle with Stipe, see the place Jon’s head is. Or, if Stipe wins, see the place his head is and see what they wish to do. Is it their final battle? Are they going to retire?
“I feel if Stipe wins, he in all probability will (retire). However I feel if Jon Jones wins, I simply suppose that aggressive spirit that he has and his want to show to the world that he’s the perfect (will make him battle). Particularly when persons are saying that (Aspinall) may probably be the perfect ever. I feel that’s the type of sh*t that fires Jon Jones up,” White added.
Nevertheless, it seems that Jones’ final battle shall be in opposition to Miocic.
